Lately

Are you tired of checking my blog only to find out that I haven't posted? Me too! I can't believe a month has nearly passed since I've written. I actually have a lot to write about, but feel like I don't have the time to sit down and digest it all and type it all down. Shouldn't take too long, though, I type almost 80 wpm. Sheesh!

Anyway, I am doing really well. Seems like my pinched nerve feelings are mostly gone. Sometimes, depending on how I am sitting or laying, I will feel the sensations, but if I move into a different position, it usually goes away. That is such a relief.

Another relief is that my knee is finally starting to feel a little bit better. Actually a lot better, but I just don't want to jinx myself by saying it out loud or writing it down. :) I have been going on 10-14 mile bike rides on my road bike every couple of days, and it is doing really well with biking. I'm also happy to say that I weigh 24 pounds less than the first time I weighed myself since Grayson was born, and after my knee surgery. So, 24 lbs in about three months, but, most of it has been coming off recently, because I have only just recently been able to exercise. Ten more and I'll be back to my regular weight, but I actually want to lose 30 more..so we'll see.

I have to tools and the motivation, I just need the knee to be able to weight lift, and it's not there quite yet. I am starting to get muscle back in my quads, hamstrings and glutes. It's been a while. I've missed them.

On the home front, the children are doing really well. God has answered my prayers in keeping them healthy this winter. I am thankful to beyond the stars and back. I would have gone insane under all the pressure if the children were sick on top of all my health problems. Just feeling really overwhelmed lately, but it is starting to lift as I ask for help and guidance in trying to declutter 'my plate'.

Grant is potty learning. He goes two or three days without an accident--which is great!! Then he usually forgets he has underwear on and plays too long at the computer or with legos and has an accident. But, he's only two (and three months) so he is doing fantastically well!

I'm super busy with blog design. Too busy, really. I've made more money in three months than I made in the entire year last year. It's crazy! I am well on to my goal of earning 20K+/year...not too shabby!

Kalli is registered for Kindergarten. It's crazy to think she is old enough to start school. I wonder how I will feel on the first day of school. Sad, or happy? Time will tell.

Baby's fussing...til next time.

An update! I was beginning to wonder if Facebook hadn't ruined you. :) Glad you were just busy and not abandoning blogging completely. I'm happy to hear that your knee is on the mend and that your kids are healthy (last winter was a little rough if I remember correctly)and the work is rewarding. Can't wait to hear more from you (when you have the time that is) :)

It's funny because I normally check blogs every Monday and sometimes forget. When I check, there's never anything new on anyone's blogs, but when I forget - it seems like they post a lot and I have to catch up with everyone.
I love reading your blog and tell Scott about everything I read. So, he enjoys it too :)
